Multiparametric [18F]F-AraG Imaging in Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC)
Multiparametric Total-Body [18F]F-AraG PET/CT Imaging in Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection (PASC)
About This Trial
This study uses total-body \[¹⁸F\]F-AraG PET/CT imaging to investigate immune activation and vascular changes in individuals with post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), also known as Long COVID. Participants will undergo dynamic PET/CT imaging along with blood biomarker assessments and symptom evaluations. The study aims to characterize sites of immunological perturbation, correlate PET imaging findings with peripheral blood markers, and evaluate longitudinal changes in tissue-based immune activity in relation to symptom patterns over time. Data from this study will improve understanding of tissue-level immune dysregulation in PASC and support future clinical tools for assessing and managing this condition.

Treatments Being Tested
A.1 - [¹⁸F]F-AraG PET/CT (90-min dynamic + 4-h static)
Participants receive an intravenous injection of 5 mCi (±20%) of \[¹⁸F\]F-AraG followed by a 90-minute total-body PET/CT scan and an additional 30-minute static scan at 4 hours post-injection. Blood samples (up to 42 mL total) are collected during dynamic imaging.
A.2 - [¹⁸F]F-AraG PET/CT (60-min dynamic only)
Participants receive an intravenous injection of 5 mCi (±20%) of \[¹⁸F\]F-AraG followed by a 60-minute total-body PET/CT scan. Blood samples (up to 42 mL total) are collected during dynamic imaging.
B.1 - [¹⁸F]F-AraG PET/CT (90-min dynamic + 4-h static)
Participants receive an intravenous injection of 5 mCi (±20%) of \[¹⁸F\]F-AraG followed by a 90-minute total-body PET/CT scan and a second 30-minute scan at 4 hours. Blood samples (up to 42 mL total) are collected during dynamic imaging.
B.2 - [¹⁸F]F-AraG PET/CT (60-min dynamic only)
Participants receive 5 mCi (±20%) of \[¹⁸F\]F-AraG intravenously followed by a 60-minute total-body PET/CT scan. Blood samples (up to 42 mL total) are collected during dynamic imaging.
